Read and Publish Tab - Wiley

The Read and Publish agreement with Wiley relates to all of the publishing house's hybrid journals (i.e. all closed access journals which allow publication of Open Access articles.)

Members of the University of Bern, the PHBern, the Inselspital (University Hospital) and the Universitären Psychiatrische Dienste Bern (UPD) can publish on an Open Access basis in the Wiley journals listed here without incurring any costs.

Pure open access journals (Fully Gold Open Access) are not part of this license, therefore articles published there cannot be funded through this agreement.

A few journals will be converted to a pure Open Access journal during the term of the agreement. These will remain part of the Agreement until the "Date of Conversion" specified separately by Wiley for each journal. Articles submitted after this date will no longer be eligible for funding through this Agreement. These journals are specifically identified in the title list and can be found on a special page at Wiley.

Information on alternative funding options for publication in Gold Open Access Journals can be found on our Open Access page.

All members of the University of Bern, PHBern, the Inselspital (University Hospital) and the Universitären Psychiatrische Dienste Bern (UPD): Students (including postgraduate and doctoral students), assistants, lecturers and professors.

When submitting your applications, please use your e-mail address at the University of Bern, Inselspital, PHBern or Universitären Psychiatrische Dienste Bern (UPD).
The article must be submitted by the corresponding author.

The authors must be employed by one of the three participating institutions at the time the article is accepted (acceptance date).

Persons without an employment contract and with a Faculty Campus account (email address @faculty.unibe.ch) are not entitled to participate in the read-and-publish agreements.

Yes, the article quota is expected to cover 80-90% of the publication volume.
Therefore, we have to assume that articles accepted for publication at the end of the year can no longer be published in open access under this agreement.

As long as you can select the Open Access option under the agreement in the course of the "Author Journey" after acceptance for publication, the quota is not exhausted yet.

The Read and Publish agreement only covers hybrid journals.
Check whether the journal is included in the title list.

Pure open access journals (Fully Gold Open Access) are not part of this license, therefore articles published there cannot be funded through this agreement.

A few journals will be converted to a pure Open Access journal during the term of the agreement.

Here is a step-by-step guide to the Open Access publication process on the Wiley website.
 

There are three licenses to choose from:

• CC BY (Creative Commons Attribute License)
• CC BY-NC (Creative Commons Attribute-NonCommercial License)
• CC BY-NC-ND (Creative Commons Attribute-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives License)

The CC BY license is recommended.

Here you can find more information about the Creative Common licenses.

No, there are article types that are not entitled to be published under OA. 

According to the agreement, the following article types, among others, will be considered for open access publication:

• Original Articles
• Review Articles
• Case Report
• Clinical Message
• Commentary
• Consensus
• Drug Focus
• History
• Meta Analysis
• Rapid Publication
• Short Communication
• Technical Note
• Tutorial

All or most part of the research for the article must have bee carried out at the University of Bern.

In addition, you must be employed as a corresponding author at the University of Bern at the time of the acceptance date.
In order to be assigned to the University of Bern, please select the corresponding affiliation after the article has been accepted by the publisher.

If the article was accepted before or after your employment at the University of Bern, the University of Bern cannot cover the publication costs.

The same applies accordingly to the PHBern, the Inselspital and the Universitären Psychiatrische Dienste Bern (UPD).

No. Billing takes place through UB Bern.

The agreement covers only the Article Processing Charges (APC) for the open access publication of your article.

All other publication costs (e.g. color in print, posters, publication fees for overlength of an article) cannot be charged via the Read and Publish agreement.

According to Wiley this is not possible within this Read & Publish license.

If you decide to publish the article Open Access only at a later point, you will have to look for another source of funding. You can find information on this on our Open Access page.

You will be informed personally should your publication request be rejected.

If you think this is a mistake, please reply with a statement why your article should still be published under OA.

If the decision to publish under OA is corrected after re-examination, you will receive a request from Wiley Technical Support to complete the submission form again. This allows the process to continue as normal.
